Presort and commingling mail: What’s the difference?

The terms presort and commingle are often used interchangeably in the world of mail … sometimes even by mail professionals themselves. But there is a difference, which is helpful to understand when you are seeking the lowest postage rates for your business or organization.

The definition of commingle is to blend. Your mail is mixed, or commingled, with mail from other organizations in order to achieve USPS discounts. Doing apresort mailing will save you money; but commingling your mail might save you more.

To get the maximum bang for your postage buck, get some guidance from your local presort mail expert.
